I am Carin Marais, a South African fantasy author. My current
big project is The Ruon Chronicles – an epic
fantasy that will span multiple short stories and novels.

So… what do
you get when you make a pledge?
When you make a pledge, you will get a short story every
other month, as well as an in-depth look behind the scenes of what goes into
writing epic fantasy and creating a secondary world. This includes
worldbuilding notes, sketches, maps, and more. You can even get a cameo role in
one of the stories!

Your awesome patronage will go
towards not only freeing up more time to write but also paying for professional
artwork and the like!

So… What're The Ruon
Chronicles about?

In the first age of Airtha-Eyrassa, before the
First Sundering, the great Knowledge Stone was created. The Airus could impress
knowledge on the stone and tell of the
history of the world before the Betrayers came into being. But, before they
could be overcome, the Keepers of the Stone was attacked and almost all were
slain.
Now broken, the pieces of the Knowledge Stone scattered and
lost.
So began the long search for the lost Knowledge Stones by the
Seekers of Knowledge.

An age later, after the Second Sundering, a bloody war
erupted and covered the lands of Airtha-Eyrassa. Called the Ruon Wars, the
enemy was led by the Vidolf Elame; a Ruon turned against her own kind to follow
the Betrayers. At last Elame was captured
and imprisoned with her followers on an island.
When the pillars of Elame’s
prison fall and those within are set free, Selena Tellah, a young Ruon, along
with others of her kind and Seekers, must find a way to recreate the Ruon
charms and find the lost Knowledge Stones in order to fight the dark forces
amassing against them.
Time is running out as the enemy draws closer to setting free
forces that can once again tear Airtha-Eyrassa apart and thereby set in motion
the Final Sundering that will lead all to ruin.
